Hey everyone, and welcome back to another episode of the Comment Section Show starring
00:01:32.760
Today, I have a flamingo on my sweater and that's as good as it gets.
00:01:37.780
But let's get on to the most important part of each episode, which is the wonderful, amazing
00:02:01.140
When I first found you, obviously I thought you were so incredibly hilarious.
00:02:05.520
But I also love how you were tricking the internet for months on what your real accent was,
00:02:22.300
Oh, the emoji trend, where it was like, put the emojis down there.
00:02:26.400
I said, oh, you don't know what's coming to you, brother.
00:02:42.520
Because we both foreign, but we both got that mindset of like, okay, we're not going to care
00:03:01.260
I love when they put that under videos that they're like, come on, y'all.
00:03:12.140
It's honestly such an insult, if you think about it.
00:03:14.840
If you're saying something with like your whole chest and you mean it, and someone's
00:03:33.520
Most of the people who hate me are men and they're not even remotely intelligent enough
00:03:46.520
Because men are like known to be like the funny ones.
00:03:56.220
Like, I'm like, I'll give you war, but I will not give you funny.
00:04:00.140
I'll give you the workplace, but I will not give you funny.
00:04:07.560
So like when there is like a funny woman, they're like, oh man, what do we do, bro?
00:04:14.740
That's so funny you say that because I did talk to someone on my show about that too.
00:04:18.880
And like it was Meg and she was talking about how like, you know how you can tell when you're
00:04:23.780
in a group setting, like you're, let's say like a party, you can always tell when a guy does not
00:04:58.400
I've been doing standup comedy for about seven years.
00:05:16.460
And then the clubs closed down and I was like, well, can't break this itch of funny.
00:05:26.760
They need girls like me to sit on their keyboards.
00:05:34.740
So, I got out on the pandemic and then I just started creating videos and they blew up.
00:05:41.100
Because if I, if I started now, I would be so stressed out.
00:05:50.780
Because there was, like, I think, I feel like when I first, uh, started looking at TikTok,
00:05:59.300
But you were one of the people I would see all the time.
00:06:00.900
And you were one of the, the few people that I saw and I was like, okay, so it's not
00:06:12.180
Like, that made me, that convinced me to, like, want to stay on TikTok.
00:06:15.680
Because at the beginning, I didn't want to really engage because I was like, this seems
00:07:01.940
If you ever want to know what it's like to, like, go mingle at shit like that for social
00:07:05.260
media, you see the same people over and over again.
00:07:07.920
And then, thankfully, if they're like Grace, they're really awesome to talk to.
00:07:17.840
At the, what was the, uh, emergency, um, after party we went to for the premiere?
00:07:34.780
First of all, Grace goes to places by herself, which is because she's a confident bad bitch,
00:07:40.660
But like, she'll go to anything and anywhere by herself.
00:07:43.660
And she literally goes, I'm going to take a lap.
00:07:45.580
And she'll walk around the room and go talk to people, which is so foreign to me because
00:07:54.240
But my boyfriend went to, he's like, I'm going to go check out those appetizers.
00:08:11.440
And then you were like, oh, yeah, you cut me in the buffet line.
00:08:24.400
And then later on, you asked, my boyfriend was holding a plate.
00:08:27.180
And he, like, he gets too nervous to, like, put it anywhere.
00:08:30.800
And you were like, are you going to finish that?
00:08:38.820
That's, like, some of the best food I've had at one of those events.
00:08:44.080
The way my parents, my African parents were like, if you don't finish this plate,
00:08:52.720
I'd be like, my mom's going to come for you if you don't finish this plate.
00:08:56.640
The best part about that story is at the end of the night, I was like, all right, I'm going to head out.
00:09:03.460
And then when I was walking, I was like, where's Grace?
00:09:12.320
Like, they were sitting there and he was getting her a drink.
00:09:14.660
I read people too well sometimes, especially when I get a little drink.
00:09:19.060
Like, when I get a little swipsy, oh my gosh, I'd be like, hmm.
00:09:24.540
I went up to him because I knew he was awkward.
00:09:32.800
And I could tell he was just, like, standing and, like, being by himself.
00:09:58.080
Bruh, that's the night that Jason Momoa got a picture.
00:10:02.040
And I was, I really wanted to introduce him to my boyfriend because they could be the Spider-Man meme.
00:10:07.340
But me and Chalum were too nervous to go up to him.
00:10:10.840
And then later on, she posted a picture that she was with him.
00:10:35.200
If I tell my village I met you, they would make me the queen.
00:11:18.040
You know I've been in those acting classes, girl.
00:11:35.940
That's why Grace is one of the funniest people I've met in the industry.
00:11:42.960
You're like, sometimes I take it a bit too far.
00:11:53.380
Have you ever done, like, have you ever done one of your accents before to the point where,
00:12:09.980
Actually, and then when I get drunk, I can speak French.
00:12:15.040
But my friends have videos of me speaking French.
00:12:44.280
Oh, I remember when I was working at a movie theater.
00:12:57.940
There was a British couple that came and they said, oh, where are you from?
00:13:15.720
Honestly, that's, like, a prime example of, like, our topic for today.
00:13:26.140
Because Grace is obviously so incredibly hilarious.
00:13:33.680
I feel like we know funny and we know not funny.
00:13:37.080
So, the topic for today that we're going to be talking about is, like, funny women versus funny men.
00:13:43.480
And the only reason why is because, like, men, like, obviously we're talking about a very specific kind of man.
00:14:01.980
It is 2022 you're saying that women are not funny.
00:14:04.840
That's why I think your whole life, like, you've been alive for over 20 years and you've never once come across any funny women.
00:14:17.220
And then the stuff that they find funny, I be looking, I say, oh, that's a, well, then, yeah, when they laugh at shit, I'm like, well, no wonder you don't find me funny.
00:14:39.660
I think, too, like, like we were talking about how, like, some men get really intimidated by funny women.
00:14:46.100
And, like, even when I was, I had an episode with another person and they were talking about how they saw this thing, this, like, study about how some women, like, genuinely, like, don't tell jokes on the first day because they don't want to, like, scare men off or, like, intimidate them.
00:15:13.880
And, oh, my goodness, just in general, if I see a woman that's not being her authentic self, just so she can fit into that gender norm.
00:15:34.800
Because it's there and you've suppressed it for so long.
00:15:52.220
So for those of you who don't know here on the comment section, what we like to do is we bring videos that are applicable to our topic here.
00:15:57.940
And then we laugh, kiki, make all the jokes, all that fun stuff.
00:16:00.960
So obviously, we're going to be talking about humor as a whole, specifically when it comes to like terrible men always finding women not funny.
00:16:09.680
I've got some good ones, but like working in comedy clubs, when I tell you, they try and snub me and I be the funny one in the joint.
00:16:22.420
And I said, babes, you could have just been letting what's real be real.
00:16:30.080
And then it's funny because you're like, maybe if you tried harder, you would do better.
00:16:39.540
Well, and also, I feel like when you like already you see women that way, like women are funny, blah, blah, blah.
00:16:46.000
When you get intimidated like that very easily, I feel like your lens on life is like a pinhole.
00:16:52.140
Like you don't see anything else outside of your very narrow scope and it's very ignorant.
00:16:58.120
Like literally you're incapable of being funny when you're ignorant.
00:17:09.420
What else are we going to let them bitches get away with?
00:17:11.580
Like they can control what they do with their bodies.
00:17:25.700
Okay, so this first video is the comedian and talk show host, Lily Singh.
00:17:32.800
She does a comedic monologue on her show about how International Women's Day is coming up.
00:17:37.140
And she's obviously making fun of like terrible men who are upset that the day exists.
00:17:42.020
Because, you know, they're like, women get a month, what about a man?
00:17:46.060
I don't know, check the last thousand years of human history.
00:17:58.800
And they should get their money up instead of their funny up, honestly.
00:18:04.920
Because the way they want to have a woman that is making money, that will be cooking,
00:18:11.080
that will be cleaning, that will bear the children.
00:18:24.500
I mean, it's, if you think of, like, when you talk about humor as a whole, too, like,
00:18:29.240
especially, like, the kind of humor that I find funny, a lot of times dudes are like,
00:18:33.340
I just think that's so, like, juvenile or whatever.
00:18:44.640
Which is, like, someone falling down the stairs.
00:19:13.020
Okay, so the comments on this video are obviously less than favorable.
00:19:18.720
This first one says, I don't want to offend anyone, but I didn't laugh when she was telling
00:19:24.420
I think that's fine, because comedy is almost like, it's like beauty where it's subjective.
00:19:29.060
So, not everybody's going to find the same shit funny.
00:19:31.840
But it's when you start going, I don't like that joke, and women are never funny.
00:19:40.740
Some of the most unfunny people I've ever met in my life are men.
00:19:44.640
And I'll be, and I, I'm not going to lie, sometimes I feed egos.
00:20:04.200
Sometimes you give them an inch, they take a mile.
00:20:07.060
You give them, you give them a couple of chuckles here and there, then they start firing off
00:20:28.820
I just started talking about the white person laugh.
00:20:35.960
It's the same kind of what, you know, when you're on the phone with like the bank or something
00:20:39.260
and then they're like making jokes and you're like, I know, crazy.
00:20:48.660
You're like, what part of executive decisions has you rolling like that?
00:20:57.520
Listen, one thing about it, I'm going to stay in my bag.
00:21:08.580
If you laugh at my joke, I'm not giving you anything.
00:21:10.980
But if I laugh at your joke, I'm getting discounts.
00:21:21.200
I literally think that's, like, that's why I said, like, if you don't find something funny,
00:21:26.960
But when you generalize, like, in general, that's what makes it offensive.
00:21:34.860
When you have, like, meetings, when you talk to old people, you know what I mean?
00:21:47.800
My boyfriend does this thing where he, like, because dudes, like, this is, I almost attribute
00:21:59.660
But, like, especially old white men, they'll be like, big guy.
00:22:10.160
And then my boyfriend always goes, this is what he says every time.
00:22:15.220
He says that every time, without fail, and every time it makes them blush and giggle.
00:22:29.160
And I told him once, I said, why do you tell them that?
00:22:31.480
And then he goes, because it ends the conversation.
00:22:36.920
If you, like, if you go any, even a step further, it'll last 20 minutes.
00:22:42.260
Whereas that, he's like, I say it, and it's over.
00:22:44.760
Because then they're, like, as they're blushing and, like, being like, oh, my God.
00:22:58.240
Catch him now when he's in the fluster of laughter.
00:23:10.480
There's a TikTok, and it's like, sayonara, sister.
00:23:17.660
That's, like, I've seen those videos where people are, like, I don't know why white people
00:23:23.360
will try to, like, appropriate AVE because their own sayings are, they hit so hard.
00:23:30.400
Like, when they say, like, they're, like, newsflash.
00:23:38.720
I grew up as a token black kid, so I had to learn them to survive.
00:24:02.540
I think it's, like, I'm like, you guys are selling yourself short because some of those
00:24:12.660
Like, if you use them to cap your sentences or to, like, insult somebody.
00:24:38.580
Um, it says, only reason they have a day is because all of women's achievements can be
00:24:52.840
They also use the wrong form of woman, but grammar's hard.
00:25:01.160
It's, like, they, it's, it's beyond, like, I feel like it's a mental illness.
00:25:07.620
Like, not being able to, like, humanize women in a way.
00:25:18.000
Ah, that is one of my favorite, like, anthropology subjects.
00:25:22.580
Yeah, it, it's honestly extremely interesting to me.
00:25:26.480
Like, especially when you think about, like, how they, they do these very homoerotic things
00:25:40.260
I know it extends to other people too, but, like, a lot of times they're the epicenter
00:25:47.100
Some of the shit they do, I'm like, you find that funny?
00:25:57.300
Oh, the girl that was talking about, like, how she wasn't, like, really into, like, showering
00:26:33.560
I said, it's not appropriation where you're going to find your bag.
00:26:40.600
You think about stuff, like, what's, like, I'm trying to think of stuff that's, like,
00:27:03.440
I've never seen that, like, with Thanksgiving food, like, ever.
00:27:08.320
And the thing is, I don't want to get it because I don't want to embarrass myself.
00:27:13.780
Because, you know, you have the stuffing, the macaroni, the turkey.
00:27:20.200
I'm looking over trying to cheat off a test or what.
00:27:28.320
It goes with, I think it's, yeah, I think it's like you add it, like, with your, it's
00:27:38.160
You know, I've never had the nads to try it myself.
00:27:40.820
I just, like, I don't trust things that are gelatinous that come out of a can.
00:27:49.920
And I don't, I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
00:27:54.700
Thanksgiving is jollof rice and fufu and plantain.
00:28:05.760
And they put their individual toe like a glove, bitch.
00:28:39.280
One thing I'll say with the World Cup going on, I'd be saying soccer.
00:28:44.260
I don't know why, but I think it's so funny how like other people will get perturbed and
00:29:06.680
Because nobody else in the world has that but us.
00:29:11.960
And soccer or football is literally the universal sport.
00:29:18.120
Which blew my mind when I grew up and realized that.
00:29:25.580
I never, like genuinely, even to this day, I've never left the country except to Mexico.
00:29:48.480
Just know if she's going to come down, there's a lot of carnivals.
00:30:12.500
And I got like, this is just my happenstance, but I got a black puffer.
00:30:15.920
And I was like, black puffer activities, right?
00:30:18.060
Like, I'm going to like, make that joke the whole time I'm there.
00:30:20.640
But then I was like, I'm going to put this on and I'm going to roll up a beanie and then
00:30:29.360
They're equivalent of like a man for the streets.
00:30:34.900
She's going to be rolling in the street with a mandem.
00:30:39.040
I'm literally going to go roll that beanie, black puffer, gray joggers, skin tight, painted
00:31:01.040
I feel like, yeah, I feel like they're not ones you like really f*** with.
00:31:04.280
So I'm going to dress like that when I go to the UK.
00:31:14.340
You're literally going to get like a scene and you're going to be like, hey, don't touch
00:31:19.860
I'm going to go there one time and then it's going to be my whole personality is my experience
00:31:29.040
This last comment says, did y'all know they say they don't get paid the same, but it's
00:31:33.340
because they count the salary per, let's say, year in general, a man will work more days.
00:31:45.140
It's also by how it's to say that's every man in the world is just a lie because there's
00:31:55.540
And second of all, women get pregnant and then are forced to take off work.
00:31:59.980
So yeah, by nature, they might not work as many days.
00:32:02.820
The healthcare system here is not giving for pregnant queens.
00:32:07.840
But also like, I mean, how could you literally say like men just work more?
00:32:21.800
I can't believe they say, I can't believe they say that shit's not real and it's like
00:32:28.540
It's when they realize that, realize, realize, realize, when they realize that it's actually
00:32:33.800
real or if they ever do, their whole world explodes.
00:32:42.660
All of a sudden they can't comprehend words anymore.
00:32:54.980
We've been trying to tell you from the beginning, man.
00:32:57.980
You're supposed to watch the comment section, brother.
00:32:59.760
Well, also like I think to say that like women don't get paid more.
00:33:16.640
It's like my fake laugh is like, it's like, I feel like it's contained inside my body.
00:33:31.660
Sometimes people say like, that laugh's not real.
00:33:35.900
If you've, and you said you have, any someone, person laughs exactly like me.
00:33:47.080
But like, we all like cackle and laugh really loud and the same.
00:33:55.300
Like, you're going to, it's going to sound like me.
00:34:09.400
When I, when I hear guffaw, I think like goofy.
00:34:41.020
That's how you, yeah, literally, I'm like, good luck to you, honestly.
00:34:45.500
Well, also, if that, like, stresses you out that badly that you feel the need to write
00:34:52.620
And look, you can go live in the countryside and just disconnect.
00:35:03.040
Yeah, I can't promise you that you'll get over it.
00:35:06.660
I can promise you I will continue to annoy you.
00:35:14.740
That, like, the guy who thinks the wage gap is fake.
00:35:24.840
Yeah, it's a real copy-paste situation, honestly.
00:35:32.920
This one is a man sitting in his bedroom with headphones on.
00:35:38.820
the worst thing about being a woman is they aren't funny.
00:35:43.900
He says when he hangs out with girls, he has to fake laugh at their jokes.
00:35:57.460
Like, so, because I'm trying to think, like, because you don't think we get paid, one.
00:36:09.740
Because if you fake laughing to try and take somebody home, maybe, that means you ain't got no game.
00:36:18.340
And that means she's playing you at that point.
00:36:31.460
I think, like, with someone who says, every time I've ever hung out with a girl, I've had to fake laugh.
00:36:45.160
I mean, like, I think that, I think it's fair to say that not everyone is, like, a comedy genius.
00:36:53.260
But if I were to seek one out, it wouldn't be a man.
00:37:07.660
So, for every extremely funny woman, I'm trying to find it.
00:37:16.420
Because we have to, like, do ten times as much.
00:37:31.160
And yet there are still men being like, you're not funny.
00:37:36.100
Like, between me and this bitch-ass dude, one of us is funny.
00:37:45.800
Bro, you bring out stats and they'll be like, that's empirical data.
00:37:49.820
That's based off of feelings and emotions and hormones and estrogen.
00:38:03.140
Do you even know the definition of empirical data?
00:38:09.720
The instant, the instant goes, straw man argument.
00:38:17.280
I once got tagged in this video, um, a lot of times by this, it was this girl, she was
00:38:26.140
recording herself, like having a conversation with this dude that she worked with and she
00:38:30.240
was like telling him, like, repeat to me what you just said.
00:38:32.620
And he said, like, I just don't think women are funny.
00:38:37.120
I think men are inherently funnier, blah, blah, blah.
00:38:39.240
And they, and she tagged me herself and her video did like crazy numbers.
00:38:43.740
And so I commented on it and I was like, I literally just said, like, ask him to tell
00:38:50.000
Whenever a man tells you, I've never seen, I don't think women are funny.
00:39:04.160
And if it has nothing to do with bigotry, I'll eat my hat, bitch.
00:39:18.600
I mean, like, I remember I was working at this comedy club and the requirement to audition
00:39:24.660
is it had to be under three minutes and it had to be clean.
00:39:44.160
They said, okay, guys, when we, when, and this is like a really big comedy clip.
00:39:54.120
Maybe some of you don't understand the definition.
00:39:59.220
They think just because they're not cursing doesn't mean.
00:40:11.120
What if when they did that, they had like a taboo buzzer and they were just like, eh,
00:40:22.860
That's why I said, tell me a joke that's funny that has nothing to do with oppression.
00:40:30.860
Tell me a joke that's funny that has nothing to do with those things.
00:40:51.500
Dude, the audition process for like a comedy club like that, that's nerve wracking to me.
00:40:56.120
But I can only imagine like tanking so hard where you don't follow the prompt at all.
00:41:10.900
The executive producers are going to eat this up.
00:41:13.960
They say that, but they don't actually mean it.
00:41:17.580
When they see what I have to offer, they are going to be laughing their hats off.
00:41:33.640
I equate, this is such a weird equivalency, but like I equate stuff like that where they
00:41:39.420
like purposely don't follow the rules because they're like, it's not going to matter to
00:41:42.800
like people at the airport when they're like, the plane's not ready.
00:41:46.340
And then there's people like harassing the out of a gate agent.
00:41:50.320
And I'm like, do you think that's going to get you on the plane faster?
00:41:54.460
That's like, I equate it to the same because they're like, I'm not the same as these other
00:42:03.600
That's why sometimes I feel bad, but I'm using King in like a, okay, King.
00:42:21.460
I went, I went to New York a few months ago and, um, my flight there got delayed like
00:42:29.000
But then I always think like when they say the engine's failing, I'm like, I'm not getting
00:42:43.080
And the way that like older people, especially older people, they'll literally immediately
00:42:52.040
So like this one guy, like the last time I got delayed, this guy's at the gate and he's
00:42:56.240
like fighting with this girl who just clocked in.
00:42:59.620
When I tell you she punched her card and turned around and he's like, why is this plane not
00:43:04.680
Like he's lighting her up and she's like, I literally don't know.
00:43:12.860
There's nothing more embarrassing to me than when they turn around to like start a coup
00:43:42.520
I hear the carry-ons rolling across the linoleum and nothing else.
00:43:47.720
I hear those free snacks they give you when your plane's delayed.
00:43:57.880
I was like, they're just like literally like in Les Mis, like French Revolution.
00:44:05.300
He's like walking around telling people, make sure you get your money back.
00:44:27.460
Sometimes if you just open your mouth and smile, that's enough for them.
00:44:45.440
I always think too, gay agents can play God at that point.
00:44:52.900
I've seen so much drama, especially during COVID.
00:44:59.520
I remember when I got on a plane from Houston to L.A., when the plane took off, there was
00:45:06.160
a guy, he had a cowboy hat, and he had porcelain skin, and when it went, well, you know how
00:45:24.500
He held on to that belt buckle brother, and he went like that.
00:45:32.260
Like, when I was looking around, everybody was like, they were like, too scared, because
00:45:37.600
he, and then the more and more of the flight went on, he was obviously like the obnoxious
00:45:58.400
When I was in college, I would fly back and forth from Hawaii all the time to California,
00:46:03.560
and like, one time I would fly up the most random times, because I did like this thing
00:46:07.480
called a buddy pass, where you like, only fly standby, and like, I would just sit next
00:46:12.300
And like, one time I sat across from this lady, porcelain skin again, she stands up,
00:46:18.620
and she, in the middle of the flight, it's like five, six hours, depending, and she's
00:46:25.660
And she's walking on the plane, and she's like, stretching, like, doing like, yoga poses,
00:46:35.880
And the way I'm like, you know what, that's annoying, but I'm not going to say anything.
00:46:44.200
And then she's barefoot, so she's like, sticking her feet out, and like, going like, you know,
00:46:49.460
Tell me why she puts her bare foot on my armrest.
00:46:56.000
Your toes are gripping where my hands just were absolutely not, bitch.
00:47:00.480
She probably thought she had those, those, those.
00:47:06.160
The way that she put her toe, like, she literally went like this.
00:47:10.740
I said, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, go put it
00:47:32.480
I'm like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
00:47:37.220
you can do it somewhere else, though, like, put your foot on someone else's armrest, babe.
00:47:44.500
When you know you're doing something that's not right, I'm just stretching, stop.
00:47:50.620
At some point, I'm like, on a certain level, I respect the just complete lack of awareness.
00:47:57.320
Lack of awareness, like, oh, yeah, it's so like, whatever, you know what I mean?
00:48:04.560
But like, on some level, I'm like, okay, well, I guess good for you.
00:48:09.240
Put your toes on someone else's armrest, though.
00:48:28.120
Well, they probably think that what they're doing is what they're supposed to be doing.
00:48:54.100
I can't imagine just like, you're just sitting and then.
00:49:04.680
The way I would have to be arrested by the undercover agent on the plane.
00:49:13.320
The way I'm like reserving a spot on the no fly list.
00:49:15.800
Because I'm going to start beating the shit out of someone.
00:49:33.620
This first one says, I've never laughed at a woman trying to make a joke unless they told
00:49:44.080
As I said, how do you know that wasn't intentional of her?
00:49:58.660
What if they sucked their laugh back in once they found out it wasn't intentional?
00:50:17.280
Just like, and for someone with like very little mental capacity, it's almost impressive.
00:50:23.260
But I think too, like on a certain, at that point, like what's the point of laughing at all?
00:50:28.060
Like if you have to dissect if it was intentional or not, it's exhausting.
00:50:41.260
I'm trying to decipher whether a woman is intentionally making a joke or not.
00:50:45.700
Displacement of beautiful brain matter that can be used for good.
00:50:58.060
I think I heard a girl say one single joke that made me chuckle and it was in response
00:51:04.580
It's funny because when you're on the internet and you write things, all of it could be lies
00:51:15.800
And if it wasn't for your joke, I'm sure it wouldn't be funny.
00:51:40.340
If you're so like, like shook by women who are like naturally funny.
00:52:06.600
Ask him why you are busy doing stocks and Bitcoin.
00:52:17.620
I think sometimes I like think I sometimes I genuinely think that if people don't know
00:52:23.620
how to laugh at themselves, they like can't be funny.
00:52:29.680
Like how are you going to tell jokes and you can't take a joke?
00:52:32.880
When I see people like that, it's my personal mission to really find the nook and cranny
00:52:37.540
and open up that brightness and laughter that is there.
00:52:45.680
It's the I remember there was a trend on TikTok.
00:52:58.700
But more about like it's like they're trying to adapt like an introverted like personality.
00:53:04.600
But like if you're an introvert, you're an introvert.
00:53:10.640
But if you are literally not layered and just quiet and on purpose, you're quiet on purpose.
00:53:26.500
But I think, too, that there's also like there's just like I think there's like a certain way that you can learn to be like.
00:53:36.240
Some people are funny overall, like they're funny to anyone and everyone like us.
00:53:44.460
It's like it's all relative at the end of the day.
00:53:46.700
It's whatever you like and whatever you find humorous, I guess you could say.
00:54:00.520
Man, I'm not like this is like the only formula to be funny.
00:54:21.460
And like they just think there's like a one track for everything.
00:54:32.160
I have to go to school to learn how to be funny.
00:54:42.260
And I think, too, that's why when you do that kind of like there's this is the one thing
00:54:53.640
Women, women of color, black women, trans women.
00:54:59.720
And while it's excluding it, it's also taking from it.
00:55:11.620
I got back home and she only cooked me peanut butter and jelly.
00:55:23.420
They're like, all she wants is to get her nails done, stupid bitch.
00:55:44.600
I was in there just, like, really, like, bladed on her, man.
00:56:00.300
And sometimes they'll be the same ones that, in person, they're private, mysterious.
00:56:05.320
I said, baby, you just laid it out on the line on the dance floor.
00:56:19.260
I also, like, that's the same, almost the same dude, if not, like, worse, than, like,
00:56:24.860
a dude who's, like, if you're in a group setting, and let's say you're firing him off,
00:56:29.480
you're killing it, like, everybody's laughing, like, in a group, and you're, like, hanging
00:56:34.580
out, and then this guy goes, this girl's funny.
00:56:48.060
No, no, I was in, I forgot where I was in Mexico, but, like, I was there for a carnival.
00:56:55.640
And so we were staying at this hotel where, like, a lot of foreigners stayed at.
00:56:58.880
And there was three guys, and they were coming out of the elevator, and I was looking like
00:57:06.860
And I was walking past, and they were all checking me out, and it wasn't until, like,
00:57:16.040
Like, we had walked past each other, and then the group leader was, like, hey, how you doing?
00:57:20.480
And then the other one said, hey, how you doing?
00:57:25.620
Like, they will not do anything unless the group leader, like, they're like, am I allowed
00:57:39.780
Yeah, the way that, like, that one guy deems, like, this, you're actually, like, pretty
00:57:46.280
They give you, like, the most backhanded compliment.
00:57:49.240
Whenever I've heard that, I've had that said to me before many times, and then I go, thanks.
00:57:54.420
I don't think you're funny, but, I mean, humor's subjective.
00:57:58.180
I mean, feeling's not mutual for me personally, but, like, I'm sure someone finds you funny.
00:58:21.180
I, one of my favorite, like, silly jokes I ever told, like, in response to hate was,
00:58:26.220
like, because I call people uggos a lot, right?
00:58:29.520
Like, you're just a big uggo, so who cares what you think?
00:58:32.240
But I called, I said it in a video, and someone's like, what the f*** is an uggo?
00:58:42.860
It's like the wasted one from Grand Theft Auto.
00:59:15.040
What kind of advice do you have for any women or femme presenting people in general who maybe want to get into comedy professionally?
00:59:23.620
Especially since it's such a male-dominated space, even at this point.
00:59:28.460
Well, I mean, for the most part, they will hate on you, 100%.
00:59:45.500
But when I tell you, because it's usually couples coming on dates, the girls will be living.
00:59:57.660
And because men can't think for themselves in that sense, if she's laughing, he'll laugh.
01:00:07.840
So many times, I've had so many shows, and the girls just come up, and they're like, you were the funniest one up there.
01:00:15.820
You said, yeah, my back aches from carrying this team on it, bitch.
01:00:27.780
And so, like, whatever suppression that you're getting from whoever you're working with, know that you are the bomb diggity, and you're funny, and you're going to have a Netflix special.
01:00:50.320
And honestly, I can verify Grace is absolutely hilarious.
01:00:57.840
She didn't, but if she did, I would say it, too.
01:01:17.120
Now, that was a joke meme thing that went on for days, months, years.
01:01:28.840
There was a lady that sprayed Gorilla glue on her hair instead of hairspray.
01:01:55.060
Well, that's going to do it for this episode of the comment section.
01:01:58.140
